+Subject: [PATCH] rpc: Fix crash on error paths of message dispatching
+
+This patch resolves CVE-2013-0170:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893450
+
+When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
+but wasn't removed from the message queue.
+
+After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
+the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
+virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
+uninitialized pointer.
+
+This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.
+
+* rpc/virnetserverclient.c: virNetServerClientDispatchRead:
+    - avoid use after free of RPC messages
